Thank you Geoff 42. I'll try that for a while and see if my system needs it.

p.s.  The file is at /etc/default/tmpfs

I know systemd does that by default, not sure about sysvinit.

That is probably a leftover from mandriva or mageia, systemd.

How can I test if it's being used or not, and , like frequency and size? Do you know?

I can't remember why I did that...

edit... it was probably part of setting up a proxied firewalled self server written by Ashton Mills, using Mandrake, but I got there a bit late and had to use Mandriva.

I get a little bit carried away, gradually...

Separate GPT partitions for 

bios grub (1Mb)
/
swap
/tmp
/usr
/var
/usr/src
/home

Then I have all the archive partitionss attached to /home/.../local/

And 2 other linux distro hdd's (both beowulf atm).

List, list so nothings missed.

Although I've never seen that error, I wonder if these are installed
I haven't run this program for some time... so I've left in the versions in the list.

libportaudio2_19.6.0-1_amd64.deb libportsmf0_0.1~svn20101010-5_amd64.deb

hydrogen-drumkits_2017.09.19~dfsg-1_all.deb 
hydrogen_0.9.7-6_amd64.deb

I usually install fluid synth and timidity and use sound fonts too.

hope this helps.

oh, i use mlocate.

thank you for making me aware there is more to locate, i had used(?) installed slocate on another distro (Mandriva) long ago.

mlocate (locate command) finds things on my other harddrives as well.

Does it depend on the baloo and kde5-plasma search settings in "system settings"/Search/file search?

you may find the headers linux-headers-4.19.0-9-amd64 and "common" (and other versions) off the Beowulf 3.1 dvd here

GlennW

Thank you for the correction...

As far as I'm aware open-rc run levels are "default, off, recovery and sysinit."

I thought the commented lines in the above script were left there from the sys-v script the file was used for.

I still not completely sure how this works... sorry for butting in.

I didn't see those other posts this morning when I added my 2 cents worth.

But, I'm glad I found out some more about run levels and open-rc.

The Body Keeps the Score – Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
Bessel Van der Kolk, M.D.

...is a 2014 book by Bessel van der Kolk about the effects of psychological trauma, also known as traumatic stress.[1][2] The book describes van der Kolk's research and experiences, on how individuals are affected by traumatic stress, and its effects on the mind and body.
Synopsis

In The Body Keeps the Score, van Der Kolk focuses on survivors of psychological trauma, giving an account of how trauma has affected them.[1] He also discusses some possible routes to healing (including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, yoga, and limbic system therapy).[3] The book has five parts: Rediscovery of Trauma, This is Your Brain on Trauma, The Minds of Children, The Imprint of Trauma and Paths to Recovery.[1]

I also use Palemoon for this forum and have no probs, I also use eMatrix blocker.

turn eMatrix off while you check. Once you have it working turn eMatrix back on and set it up so you get no interference.

It's probably a cache issue...

I backup my personal data using

scripts (which are very basic bash commands)

I also use reverse instructions to restore. But I haven't had to do that in a long time, touch wood. :-)

I used to use "simplebackup" but it stopped working and support for it disappeared, but that was when I was still using Mageia/Mandriva (about ten years ago?).

Thankfully, Devuan Beowulf is more stable than any other OS I have ever used before.
